Table 4 The antioxidant activity of tea brands in mg of AAE/g DW and IC₅₀ values

From: Determination of some selected secondary metabolites and their invitro antioxidant activity in commercially available Ethiopian tea (Camellia sinensis)

Tea samples	AOA^G mg AAE/g DW	IC_50% value (µg/mL)
Green tea	80.0 ± 0.63^e	7.303 ± 1.35^a
Black lion	28.8 ± 1.86^a	56.067 ± 2.02^c
Eirmon	41.9 ± 0.87^c	51.320 ± 1.45^b
Gumero	52.3 ± 2.91^d	47.086 ± 2.04^b
Abyssinia	42.9 ± 2.07^bc	51.325 ± 1.69^b
Dire	40.7 ± 2.72^bc	64.015 ± 2.81^d
Addis	40.8 ± 3.40b^c	51.145 ± 2.85^b
Wushwush	32.6 ± 1.92^a	61.830 ± 2.37^d

Values in the same column that are followed by a different letters (a–e) are significantly different p < 0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range tests
AOA^G is the antioxidant activity, expressed in milligrams of ascorbic equivalents per g of dry tea sample
